Sammy and Sunny’s First Day of School is a day in the life of a child and a puppy on their first day of school. In many ways, they are alike, and in some ways, the two school days are different. There is a cute twist at the end about the second day of school. With the details and the comparison, it is a reassuring book for readers who may be nervous about their first day of kindergarten. The tone is matter-of-fact and full of visual details to help eliminate the unknown. Adding a puppy's first day of puppy school is a unique addition to the many books about the first day of school that are on the market. Overall, this is a reassuring and positive portrayal of school with a cute twist.
